To start out as we speak’s publish, some questions on initiatives that generate carbon credit.
Which nation has extra initiatives within the World: India, United States, Brazil or Colombia? And particularly REDD/REDD+ initiatives, Colombia, Brazil or Peru? Improved Forest Administration, United States or Mexico? Sustainable Agricultural Land Administration, India or Italy? Waste Recycling initiatives, South Africa or Germany? You may be stunned with some solutions.
Launched simply in time for New York Local weather Week just a few days in the past, a International Carbon Markets Hub permits customers to discover the world’s largest database of voluntary carbon markets transactions. That is how the press launch from Ecosystem Market (EM) begins.
“The voluntary carbon market (VCM) has grown dramatically in the last five years, accompanied by a flood of private investment in the space. At the same time, the VCM has attracted scrutiny over concerns about the potential for greenwashing, and the integrity of project developers’ claims, especially so-called “carbon cowboys” benefiting from communities within the International South by taking the lion’s share of carbon credit score revenues, with few advantages going to communities themselves.”
And all that regardless of current progress made by initiatives just like the ICVCM and others.
The primary options of this new Hub (as of early October 2024) are:
-
Carbon credit score initiatives from over 100 international locations;
-
Challenge knowledge on 20,779 initiatives, together with methodology, location, issuances, retirements, SDG certification;
-
Interactive knowledge visualizations that observe and analyze transaction knowledge from 200+ market members, resembling carbon venture builders and resellers of carbon credit;
-
A number of years vary, offering big-picture perception into the VCM over time; and
-
Key data on how EM filters and categorizes venture knowledge.
Carbon Credit score Markets navigated the Hub and located the insights completely nice. By the best way, it was the supply of the questions originally of the publish (spoiler alert: the reply to the questions is the primary nation listed. Consider it or not).
Based mostly in United States, in Washington DC, Ecosystem Market is an initiative of the non-profit group Forest Traits, and a number one international supply of knowledge on environmental finance, markets, and funds for ecosystem companies.
And keep tuned, very quickly Carbon Credit score Markets will announce a partnership with the Busca.Global portal to supply official documentation and due diligence companies for initiatives. We’ll initially concentrate on Brazil.
Integrity is all the pieces. From starting to finish.
